Do any of the following questions ring a bell after your own motor vehicle accident? We are here to provide the information you need after a car crash.

When should I bring an attorney into the picture after a crash?

To help you make that decision, consider these points:

  • It costs nothing to get an initial consultation at our West Valley law firm.
  • It can be difficult to document how an accident happened if too much time goes by before an investigation begins.
  • The statute of limitations for bringing an injury claim or lawsuit in Arizona is two years.
  • Accident reconstruction and legal processes take time.
  • Doctors often need time to make long-term prognoses.

For all these reasons, many people’s cases are more successful when they begin working with lawyers as soon as possible.

What kinds of compensation can I get after being injured in a car accident in Arizona?

In most cases, you may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A diligent lawyer can help ensure that you do not miss out on any compensation available to you.

Is Arizona a no-fault or at-fault state when it comes to compensation for car accidents?

Whichever driver was at fault will need to pay for others’ injuries and losses. However, Arizona also has comparative fault laws regarding motor vehicle accidents. Specifically, the law stipulates that “the full damages shall be reduced in proportion to the relative degree of the claimant’s fault.” Therefore, if you were injured, you can bring a claim even if you were partially at fault.

Can I get compensation from an insurance company without an attorney’s assistance?

You can try this, but many people in your situation soon discover that insurance companies often put up obstacles and make it hard for people to get the benefits they deserve. An attorney on your side can help you overcome such challenges.
